When your hand reached out to me that time,

My heart began a rapid beat.

I grasped it with my own,

And your warmth spread through me

Like a fire in the hearth;

Warm and gentle,

Sincere and trustworthy.

You reached out to me,

And took my hand;

And lead me to a place

Where we found

The naive happiness of our youth.

That was the day…

I fell in love with you.
